space
Most of the atom is empty space (between the electron orbitals and the nucleus itself). If your talking about nucleus vs. electrons then the nucleus is larger in volume and mass
In an atom, the space between electrons and the nucleus is mostly filled with empty space. The nucleus contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, and the electrons surround the nucleus in different energy levels or electron shells.

EMPTY SPACE! Over 99% of an atom is empty space. The nucleus is in the center and contains neutrons and protons and this is where most of the mass of an atom is.
Mostly empty, In the common model of the atom, electrons are really tiny and they are relatively far from the nucleus which is small (but larger than electrons). In between there is nothing. To bring this distance into perspective if a nucleus is here the next electron would be a football field away.

in the nucleus :D the rest is mostly empty space
Yes, the majority of an atom's volume is indeed empty space. At the center of the atom is a dense nucleus containing protons and neutrons, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in distinct energy levels. The space between the nucleus and the electrons is where most of the atom's volume is found.
Tim concluded that all matter is mostly made of empty space because when he studied the structure of atoms, he found that they consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons orbiting at a distance. The vast majority of an atom's volume is empty space between the nucleus and the electrons, leading Tim to believe that matter is mostly empty space.

It is the empty space between the nucleus and the electron shells.

If the atom's outer boundary is established by the "mean radius of the outermost electron orbital" or something like that, the atom is waaaaaaaaaaay over 99% free space. The hydrogen atom has a diameter over 100,000 times the diameter of the proton in it's nucleus.
